Low-energy Explosions in a Gravitational Field: Implications for Sub-energetic Supernovae and Fast X-ray Transients

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Daniel A. Paradiso, Eric R. Coughlin, Jonathan Zrake, Dheeraj R. Pasham, | Summary: Observations and theory suggest that core-collapse supernovae can span a range of explosion energies, and when sub-energetic, the shockwave initiating the explosion can decelerate to speeds comparable to the escape speed of the […]

A familiar face and person processing area in the human temporal pole

Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Ben Deen, Gasi Husain and Winrich A Freiwald | Summary: How does the brain process the faces of familiar people? Neuropsychological studies have argued for an area of the temporal pole (TP) linking faces with person identities, but magnetic susceptibility artifacts in this region have hampered its study with […]
